Since my last blog post...

No, I have not stopped blogging!  My 5 hour a week job has turned into a 20-30 hour a week job, Tripp has turned into a stubborn mess, and my sister in law is getting married this weekend.  We have been busy!  I'm ready for things to slow down a bit. 

This is a random post of random pictures - I looked through my phone and camera, and these are the ones taken since Tripp's birthday post.  Hope you enjoy catching up!

Tripp was sick.  Poor boy.

We spent an entire Saturday on the beach. 

I am loving this monogrammed hat Lindsey gave me for Christmas!

 This is how Max sleeps and it makes us "smile" every time we see him "smiling"!

My only picture from Easter - a pinterest project.  I really hope you can tell they're "carrots".  One day I'm going to do a post solely on the pinterest projects I've completed.  It seems like people either love pinterest, or hate it.  I don't think you have to be a genius to know which category I fit into! :-)

Beginning of the tree house...

...but all those boxes and instructions made us crazy. 

We decided to take a break - Wahoos game it is! So fun!

OK, OK! We'll get back to work.  This is when the tree house was almost complete!  One of Tripp's favorite playmates came over.  Hello, Captain Tripp & Pirate Ms. Julie!

WE. ARE. GOING. TO. DISNEY. WORLD!!!!!!

Geez, I'm excited.  I've been hitting the dollar bins - the plan is to give Tripp a surprise every hour in the car.  Hopefully, this is a good start at keeping him pacified during the drive.

We've added a hammock out by the tree house.  This is probably where you'll find us on any given afternoon.  I love those little crossed feet.

Another of Tripp's favorite playmates - YaYa!

& PopPop!  The tree house has officially been put to the test with PopPop's antics!

Allen bought Tripp a fishing pole. 
I could just cover these two with kisses.  Goodness gracious!  I'm a lucky girl.

Tripp found a turtle...

...& I called for back-up.  Mr. Matt to the rescue!

We went to the annual rodeo - look at these sweet babies holding hands!  Presley will be here this weekend for the wedding.  Tripp told me just this morning, "I'm excited about seeing Cousin Pwes-wee."

Thought I'd save the best for last - my 31 year old child did this to my 3 year old child.

And yes, he is wearing underwear in the above picture.  Somewhere along the way, he became potty trained!  No more diapers.  He's kind of fascinated with all things potty & likes to say potty words.  His preschool teacher told him he could only use potty words "in the potty".  Tripp took it literally - one day this week, I found him bent over the toilet, yelling, "Poopoo face!  Peepee head!"  When I asked him what he was doing, he told me he was saying "potty words IN the potty", and that it was OK, because his teacher told him he could.

What's a mom to do? ;-)
